I Wonder What We Are Thankful For

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Wonder Women have taken the week off from individual entries. Instead, as a tribute to the holiday that asks us to give thanks, we've made a list of the things we are thankful for. As you will see, we truly are a very lucky group of girls.

g love-Short work weeks-Long weekends-My tiny 4 ounce son-My husband, Darlin'-My boyfriend, John Corbett (Chris in the Morning from Northern Exposure, and Aiden from SATC)-Speaking of SATC, the upcoming movie, which I await with bated breath-My friend MSORin, who introduced me to SATC by showing me the series finale (I was late in the game) - and for lots of other things that she knows-My friend Wicked M, for starting a blog that got us all connected again - and for being a non-stop cheerleader to everyone she knows-My friend SJ, for offering of herself and her "shoulder", and being a wonderful source of comfort and positivity-My stupid job, that I love to dawg but must (grumblingly, reluctantly) acknowledge has brought wonderful things to my life-Schmuppy Dog and Schmitty Cat-My family, my friends, my reliable car, my tiny house, and Cadbury's English Toffee filled chocolate-And finally (another thing I have to thank Wicked M for introducing me to) - icanhascheezburger.com

Your Hostesses

MSO Rin - Although she doesn’t have a dog (yet) or a Subaru, MSO Rin makes her home in the wild out- and (mostly) indoors of 406. She adores: her husband, The Boy; her job; the Oscars, the Tonys, and the Emmys; and margaritas on the rocks. The source of her power is rumored to be her magazine subscriptions. That power? The ability to render foes (and family/friends) powerless with her witty and fierce chokehold on pop culture and her supernova laugh.

G Love has spent her adult life in the South, enjoying all of the grits, greens, and SEC football that it has to offer. Mother of two, spouse of one, and a legal professional, G squeezes in Art when she can. Jake and Cubby are her kids, Prof is her hubby, and Schmupp is the stage name of her very annoying corgi.

super jane - working mom whose mega-go-juice allows her to juggle career and family like a pro. she works; she cooks; she cleans; she can change a diaper like nobody's business - and all on little to no sleep. she's a mom, wife, and professional, but don't let her mommy-ness fool you. this gal still enjoys a little rap and a good natty lite. because that's how she rolls, yo.

Wicked M - Mild-mannered and only slightly wicked, Wicked M makes her home in our nation's Midwest with two beloved males - Superman and Superboy. She spends her days as a stay-at-home mama -- she is embracing changing diapers, giggly babies and yoga pants. Becoming a mama may have made her heart explode but it has not curbed her sarcasm and quick wit. She tells it like it is and hopes to make you laugh. Wicked M has a deep and abiding love for working out, wine and Cheetos.
